This name sounds better but it means it will check count == 1. I am fine with it, but please see my below comment.

I am fine with the above, but it means if users gives an unknown symbol, we will return EADDRNOTAVAIL instead of currently returning ENOENT. Is it OK?

Therefore, there is no concern of
